could it be a fualty map? thats probably the most common cause of servers crashing. whats your identifier, ill give the logs a quick scan.

I didnt notice any errors from maps or any of the typical evidence of a map-induced crash. maybe you can be more specific as to when these crashes are happening? what happened right before?

laggers cant really lag the server, thats a common myth. Only thing bad about huge laggers is that they jump around and you can't shoot them

. The only thing abnormal I see on your server is some of the maps. Have these freezes been occuring on default maps (dust2, aztec, inferno) or the crazy "fun maps" that you have installed?

its a plugin issue probably, is there something you added recently such as entmod? I see it was uploaded on the 8th.

Try playing with metamod turned off (go to server control, uncheck metamod box, set metamod, then restart server).

If theres no more lag, then its one of the metamod plugins. Use steps of deduction to track the issue down.
